Bradshaw announced an intention to reform the Winlock Police Department, which was disbanded in 2015, when he took office in January. Winlock has contracted with Toledo for police services since mid 2015.

On Feb. 27, Winlock sent a letter written by attorney Samuel Satterfield to Toledo giving a timeline for the city’s withdrawal from the policing contract requiring a new chief to be in place by April in Winlock and the two police departments to operate separately by the end of June.
